About this Recovery House

Wise House is a men's sober living home in Coal Grove, Ohio, certified by Ohio Recovery Housing at the Peer-Run level in Lawrence County. The residence is wheelchair accessible and houses four men.

A Peer-Run Men's Sober Living Home

Peer-Run certification means residents themselves carry most of the household's daily structure, with no live-in staff layer between them. Four beds is a small household even by sober-house standards, and at that size peer accountability works largely through direct relationships.

What Peer-Run Certification Still Requires of a Sober Home

A Peer-Run residence is not unsupervised. Ohio Recovery Housing, the state's National Alliance for Recovery Residences affiliate, certifies it against the same core commitments as any other level: a published code of ethics, fees and house rules disclosed in writing before move-in, a written relapse and discharge policy, and a complaint process outside the house. The state registry and Ohio Recovery Housing's certification list have been one record since January 2026.

Wheelchair Access in a Small Recovery Residence

The house accommodates a wheelchair throughout its shared spaces, which matters more in a four-bed household where every resident shares the same kitchen, living room and entrances. Accessibility here is a design choice, not an afterthought bolted onto a larger building.
